Over-60s urged to coronavirus vaccine top-up as new cases mount

Dutch News  

Healthcare minister Ernst Kuipers has called on the general public to stick to the basic coronavirus rules and urged the over-60s who have not yet had a second booster vaccination to come forward. Extra measures to control the spread of the virus are not yet needed, the minister told reporters after a meeting of cabinet ministers which was called to discuss the rising infection rate. The number of positive tests recorded by regional health board testing centres, which focus on nursing staff and people who need an official document to travel, has risen 70% over the past week, and more people have also been hospitalised with serious complaints. The minister said he was not surprised by the rise in cases because ‘we know the virus has not gone’.
